There are a few reasons why people might be less likely to comment on a **portrait** (vertical) photo compared to a **landscape** (horizontal) one:
1. **Viewing Experience** β Many platforms (like Instagram, Twitter, or websites) display landscape photos more naturally without cropping. Portrait photos may get cut off, requiring extra effort to view the full image.
2. **Composition and Context** β Landscape photos often capture broader scenes, allowing for more storytelling elements (like nature, cityscapes, or group shots). Portraits focus on a single subject, which might feel more personal, making people hesitant to comment.
3. **Emotional Sensitivity** β If the portrait features a person, viewers might feel uncomfortable commenting unless they know the subject personally. They might worry about saying something inappropriate or personal.
4. **Engagement Patterns** β People are used to engaging more with wide-angle shots, as they often appear in travel, adventure, or documentary photography, which naturally invites discussion.
5. **Social Norms** β Complimenting or critiquing a portrait, especially of a person, might feel more intimate or judgmental than commenting on a landscape, which feels more neutral and widely relatable.
